    Daily specials. Happy Hour oysters. Good mushroom flatbread. Get the whole fish ceviche if you enjoy sashimi. Buffalo ranch octopus appetizer is good too.

    We enjoy coming here for lunch meetings- it's a quiet & creative atmosphere with delicious food. We usually do a flatbread & salad. Order the juices! Check out the design details- you'll be impressed.

    Main dining area is nicely decorated with two olive trees. I really enjoyed the oysters, and sea-bream. Cocktails are also unique and refreshing.

    The interiors are a stunning with an indoor outdoor industrial, high end rustic feel! Great for a birthday brunch, lunch or a special occasion dinner! They've won design awards.

    Amazing sea food inspired dishes and great service all the time. Go for the brunch where you can make a reservation and skip the line. There are trees inside.

    It is basically a restaurant for sea food lovers. Nothing fancy but a good place to eat. Pork Chop, Pizzas and cocktails is amazing. All in all a very good place to eat.

    The seared tuna is so good, I have no words. The smokiness of the tapenade with the mushrooms, combined with a side of brussel sprouts is absolutely perfect.

    Lobster Roll and Bignets! Get the potatoes on the side complimentary with the lobster roll. Bignets are perfect with the coffee dip and fresh fruits!

    The blending of outdoor with indoor is well accomplished and integrated throughout, from the open, exposed barrel-truss ceiling providing lots of natural light, to the 100-year-old olive trees.

    Beautiful ambience; service was excellent. Wish I could rave about food which was so-so especially for hefty price. Tip- Stone crab dish was strange concoction, but for $18, I forced myself to eat.

    Executive chef Amanda Baumgarten said the $25 Whole fish ceviche is probably her best-selling cold item. The plate has been on Herringbone’s menu since the restaurant opened on June 2012. Read more

    Great food, mediocre service. The waitress was snooty and made the table uncomfortable. She didn't check on us once except for when we ordered.

    I don't know if it's me or if it was because it was Sunday and I was in the lounge but service was slow and the food is too fushiony for my tastes. At least they serve oysters.
